Here are four new articles discussing the proposed CentrePointe project in downtown Lexington:
Joe Rosenberg, a jeweler who owns much of the block and is partnering with developer Dudley Webb on CentrePointe, defends his role as landlord for The Dame music hall in an op-ed piece in Monday’s Herald-Leader.
On the same page, Lexington architect Van Meter Pettit makes the case for a more open process and a public-private oversight board to guide downtown development.
Linsen Li, opinions editor of the Kentucky Kernel, the University of Kentucky’s student newspaper, comments in Monday’s paper on UK President Lee Todd’s endorsement of Webb’s CentrePointe plan the day after it was announced. The Kernel reported Friday that Todd wrote a supportive letter to the developers before controversy began swirling about the CentrePointe plan.
